The Regime Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 The Celtics could be without center Shaquille O'Neal for two weeks. O'Neal, 38, missed Tuesday night's win against Detroit and Wednesday's contest against Milwaukee because of a knee injury. "He's not gonna play," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said of O'Neal prior to Wednesday's game. "I don't know if he'll even play on this trip coming up. We don't know yet, but obviously watching him move he didn't move very well today." After Friday's home game against Chicago, Boston will travel to Oklahoma City, Dallas, Miami and Memphis before returning home to face Washington on Nov. 17. "I'm just going by what I saw," Rivers said of O'Neal, who isn't expected to play on Friday. O'Neal is averaging 8.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in three games. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/69920/20101103/shaq_could_miss_two_weeks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Jermaine O'Neal's like "Yes! My big break, finally my chance to shine. This is it, you only get shot do not miss ya chance to blow this oppurtunity... etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 ^Yeah, he was playing so bad that Semih Erden could have taken his spot. No offense to Erden, but Jermaine is suppose to be way better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hopefully this means Jermaine starts stepping up and proving himself. Otherwise I doubt he'll be able to get any type of playing time at all once Shaq returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Granger Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Last night against the Bucks it showed why they need Shaq. With Davis fouling out, and Jermaine in foul trouble (and eventually fouling out), they had to go with Marquis Daniels because they didn't have trust in the young Turk is a clutch situation. Jermaine actually had a very solid game defensively. He didn't put up many points, but I think he had around 4 blocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA25 Mamba Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 This doesn't surprise me. We've all seen this in the recent years of Shaq's career. He'll miss regualr season games due to minor injury. Which is really fine by me, as long as he's not banged up and has fresh legs to come off the bench when Perkins returns, then he'll be a factor.
